Re: Kernel and Xen on an Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5320 processor



Hello Gilles,

This question ahas been answered many times on several lists, but perhaps not
on this. So :
Vserver is another virtualisation technologie (sort of enhanced chroot).
It is not in the standard kernel, so you have à linux-image*vserver package.
But, as it is not like Xen (para or full virtualization), it can be used with
it.
You can Have a server with several virtual machines with Xen, and in on of
them (Dom0 or DomU), you can have some vservers if you use a
linux-image-*-xen-vserver-*.

I already installed the linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-amd64 on my server and decided to have a VServer and Xen setup.  But, I can't find a good HOWTO on such setup.  Is it having VServer inside Xen or the other way around?  My Debian GNU/Linux Etch AMD64 main system is currently running the linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-amd64 kernel and Xen is already running:
